Classical Culture and the Idea of Rome in Eighteenth-Century England
Ayres, Philip (Monash University, Victoria)
This book looks at the aristocratic adoption of Roman ideals in eighteenth-century English culture. In the century following the Revolution of 1688, the ruling class promoted - by way of its patronage - a classical frame of mind embracing all the arts, on the foundations of 'liberty' and 'civic virtue'.
